Wordeee, is a next generation Publishing and Media Company where established and emerging authors can improve their craft, get published, sell books, build and audience and grow into their full potential.

You know it in your heart.

You feel it in your bones.

You’re a writer.

And, there’s the rub.

Being a writer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

You know you could impact the world...educating, entertaining, and compelling your readers...and making a real difference with your words.

But first, you have to break through.

And if you’ve tried that before, odds are you have a horror story...or six.

Is a world where it takes a lot more than talent to get that big break the sad reality? Most talented authors are never discovered.

Perhaps you’re one of them.

If so, have you met Wordeee?

Wordeee is a new kind of publishing platform, helping the world’s next great authors meet their full potential.

Thanks to a combination of big publishing expertise, cutting-edge, collaborative technology, and unlimited support and guidance, Wordeee transforms talented writers into known authors. Are you ready to invest in your dream?

The results?

Your book. Published.

Your talent. Recognized.

Your dream. Fulfilled.

As a publishing company, we set high standards for the books we select to publish. We have to be picky because, as a hybrid publisher providing bespoke support to each of our authors, we have the capacity to select 20-25 manuscripts to publish each year. The authors we choose show talent in their writing. They’re coachable and willing to take criticism from our team of seasoned editors and coaches to turn their manuscript into a thing of magic. They are willing to do whatever it takes to bring the absolute best representation of their work into the world.  Our authors are talented, scrappy, determined, and open. But what makes the experience of working with Wordeee so different is how we support our authors. Even the ones we don’t select to publish.

If you:

You have an incredible idea.

A breath-taking story…

A world-changing perspective…

Believe it deserves to be heard.

Considered the self-publishing route...

Tried to get a book traditionally published. Whew!  You know the journey ahead. It’s never as easy as they make it sound.

You can try to get an agent...and if you get anything less than a dozen rejections, consider yourself lucky.

YET, YOU KNOW WRITING IS YOUR SUPERPOWER.

The word is the word, and though it may begin on the page, it can be transformed into any form:

Book >> Feature Film >> Documentary >> Theater >> Music and many other types of intellectual property.

Why not your work? 

Absolutely. But the work you submit to Wordeee must be free and unencumbered. That  means, it must not be signed to any other publisher or under contract with an agent unless you terminate such a contract. 

Simple: bad books are bad for the world. 

• Unlike Vanity Publishing, where you pay your money and you‘re on your own, Wordeee combines real-world experience with over 50 years of publishing and media expertise with collaborative technology, delivering unparalleled support and guidance.
• Unlike publishing on Amazon, where your distribution becomes limited and book lost in translation, Wordeee is a community where talented writers become recognized authors
• Unlike self-publishing, where you spend more money than you earn…and believe us, you will. Wordeee's integrated services assure you the quality work you expect from a publisher.
• Unlike self-publishing, which typically ends up an expense, Wordeee's turn-key approach gives the world access to your work
• Unlike self-publishing, which...well let’s say you get what you pay for...Wordeee's unparalleled service will allow you to rest easy.
• Unlike big publishing houses,  whose barriers to entry are so high, Wordeee is accessible and our speed to process reassuring.

• An Author uploads their manuscript on the platform for evaluation. When they submit a manuscript to us for consideration, our team gets to work to determine if it’s ready or not quite ready for the Wordeee logo to appear on its spine.
• The manuscript is reviewed  and evaluated by Wordeee editors and is either accepted or not.  Our selection process is rigorous. When a book is submitted, our editorial team assesses whether it meets our criteria or not. Good work with the potential for great impact and cross-platforming potential is our sweet spot. Because our editors’ time is valuable, and our submissions are numerous, we favor people who are committed to their craft. The $50 evaluation fee shows they are invested in themselves and pays for the time an editor spends reading the manuscript.  This fee is refunded if the author publishes with us.
• If accepted for publication, the work goes through the process machine to determine its needs: editing, fact-checking, line editing, proofreading, layout, and design. The manuscript administrator sends pricing information. The Author accept or rejects the Wordeee proposal. If they accept they will be sent a Wordeee contract.  Thereafter, the production of their book begins.
• If we do not accept the manuscript, we send a detailed editorial letter telling them exactly why and exactly what the work needs to be improved. They may choose to work with the Wordeee team to get their manuscript up to par, or they can choose to complete this work themselves or with an outside editor. Our intention is to walk the path beside our authors, shepherding them along the journey to becoming published.
  If they work with an outside editor, they may submit the manuscript again but they will need to pay a new editorial fee as there is no guarantee that the work will be accepted after our team reviews it again.
• Upon acceptance and signing with Wordeee, the author is given permission to enter our super-powerful dashboard where they can begin engaging their audience with their Wordeee Authors’ Lounge and create custom content such as videos, live streaming, and establish general rapport with their tribe. The author can track the progress of their books, look at current stats on book sales, request royalty payments, view audience participation, and an array of other important data right from their author dashboard.
• We have a revolving publishing process, but a book will take approximately 6-8 months once the manuscript is fully completed so publication launch dates will also roll accordingly.

The adage says, do what you love! We love authors and artists and the people who appreciate them.

As authors ourselves…we know how scary, lonely, and confidence-shaking the road to becoming an author of note can be. From writer’s block to the unknowns, myths, and misconceptions of the publishing world (not to mention the fear of rejection that creeps in all along the way), this journey isn’t for the faint of heart.

Ever since the world of big publishing has lost its relevance and vitality, there's been a lot of noise and confusion in the industry, and the voices that matter most are being crowded out. Independently published books are growing and so is the proliferation of really bad books. A growing non-traditional publishing market is a statement that change is needed and that authors need new quality options, especially in the ever-evolving digital and social media age.

The founders of Wordeee themselves are authors, readers, bookstore owners, television personalities, filmmakers, traditional publishing professionals, and technologists—so yes, they are artists, too! We have a panoramic view of the world of words from beginning to end and through its transformation. Wordeee is about redefining the future of book publishing on the notion that the ever-enlarging digital playground and global economy offers new, exciting opportunities for authors and readers. 

Wordeee founders know that ideas are the easy part of any project. We not only stand behind our big idea with actionable steps, we are ready and committed to the success of our authors on our game-changing book ecosystem. You’ve made an empowered decision to support yourself as you navigate this path and we are here to help.

In a future that is all about user-generated storytelling and content, Wordeee's open-ended system harnesses the power of the latest technologies to level the playing field for authors and artists to be promoted beyond their usual borders. 

Imagine, just imagine with us, one place where the world of words comes together for true connections, cultural exchanges, communication, and most of all to make words fun once again. Wordeee’s goals are to revitalize, socialize, and revolutionize the world of books, over multi-platforms. Another goal is to ensure that one of the most important life skills, literacy, continues to excite consumers. Our mission is to hold your space until you feel ready to fly…and to support you along the journey in every way.

Wordeee means electronic, entertainment, and engagement with words (the "eee" in Wordeee is a backronym for electronic entertainment and engagement). Remember, in the beginning, there was the word. We do not discriminate on word formats; we treat the world of words in all its forms of entertainment. The world to us is in the word.

Yes, we do, and anyone can be a Wordeee Ambassador. When someone signs up on the platform, they will get a unique code in their welcome e-mail which is forever linked to their account. They are encouraged to share this code with like-minded people looking to become authors. If someone they share the code publishes with Wordeee, they will get a referral fee of $100.  

Wordeee does not publiish any work written in AI at this time. 

You own the copyright to all your works. Wordeee will publish your book, assign an ISBN and LCC number to all formats we publish — trade, hardcover, audio, or e-book.

Wordeee’s professional team will design and make the final decision on your book, however, with regards to cover design, layout, etc. Wordeee's design rights are not transferable and remain the property of Wordeee.

Every project is different.  We don't have a one price fits all model.  Your project price will be determined by the services you need. 

Wordeee will outline this in the Author's contract, but you will get paid from the first book sold. Since you have no advance to pay back, nothing stands in the way of your success — the world will be your oyster.  Even better is the fact that from your lounge you can track your sales and release your accumulated royalties any time you wish with the click of a button.

If at any time you are dissatisfied with the production of your work, you should immediately reach out to Wordeee’s customer service. If a resolution cannot be reached, Wordeee will defer to the terms and agreement clause’s refund policy statement. For any further questions or a refund request, contact us here.

For example the subject matter of your book sparks a national or international conversation. We may decide then that you would be a wonderful person to have your own Wordeee Television talk show….on Wordeee TV. Or your books is movie good…we may decide to make an original content movie of your book. The transformation of words in all its iteration is what the full vision of the Wordeee platform is all about.
